In the unreleased song " Extra Loveable " What in the world is "Door Number Pants " ?

I always assumed it was referencing the old game show Let's Make a Deal, which was still on the air when the song was written. Contestants would take a chance on winning what was behind Door #1, Door #2, or Door #3.

Oh, and "Door # Pants" would be what was behind his pants. I think you get the idea....

oh ok .

Yep, that's what I've always heard. Worst Prince lyric ever

It's "Door Number Tres" 3 in spanish, not Door number pants

No. It's "pants."

It's definitely "pants".

Bear in mind the song was originally written for Vanity to sing.

Yeah, it's 'door number pants'.

I've always thought that was a really clever line.

I used to think it was "your leather pants"

Maybe so, but in that song it works.

You are nuts. It's a wonderfully clever line.

I don't think it was -written- with her in mind at all, only that it was eventually -considered- for her. It wouldn't make sense for a woman talking about something hard in her pants. Moreover, him calling out his bandmembers and referencing Dez makes no sense in the context of Vanity 6.

I brought this up before about "Sex Shooter" being a song written from a man's perspective. It doesn't really make sense for a woman to liken her vagina to a gun. More like the sex shooter (aka six shooter) is a dick, right? So why would Vanity/Apples be telling a man to kiss his own dick in order to fuck her?

Yeah, that kinda makes more sense. I always thought the Dez line was something he probably just adlibbed on the spot.

Very true about the Sex Shooter thing.... I guess in both songs maybe Prince didn't give a fuck because he was all about blurring the lines between men, woman and sexual orientation at that time. He probably deliberately gave some songs written from a male perspective to his girl groups and kept songs for himself that he'd written from a female perspective, just to fuck with people and continue the androgynous thing. Genius!

I'm sayin! Even released as they are, it IS genius to have a woman sing "Sex Shooter" even if it may have originally been intended from a different perspective. I absolutely LOVE "Jack U Off" because it makes no sense to say you are jacking a girl off.
